Raines steps down

I haven't paid close attention to the NY Times scandals (I rarely read the Times), but this is worthy of note: Executive Editor of The Times and Top Deputy Step Down

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York Times Executive Editor Howell Raines and Managing Editor Gerald Boyd resigned on Thursday in the wake of the Jayson Blair scandal.

The Times announced that Joseph Lelyveld, the paper's former executive editor, has been named interim executive editor, assuming the responsibilities held by Raines.
